    Whilst i dont think he was the best manger on hand i do think its a perfect time for him to come back. Chuffed hes here to lift the mood. Well done on getting the manger situation sorted so quickly too. Bit strange how they already have personalised clothes for him though! Not complaining mind.

    Actually, I have been thinking about what a bit of a backstabber our old Stefan is. Ousted Stuart without a blink of an eye, and now has pretty much been headhunting McCall behinds Bowyers back, to the extent that he's even telling Bowyer which of McCalls targets to buy! GB may be slow, but I think he knew what was going on.

    How many managers have lost their jobs under Rupps chairmanship? He's got a bit of Kim Jong Un about him!

    Just watched it, like a breath of fresh air compared to Boreyer.

    Asked about Grimsby but aside from mentioning clarke and hanson, he couldn't care less. It's all about us and imposing ourselves on them. And producing entertainment for us so we get 100% behind the team.

    Can't wait for Saturday now.

    I'm guessing he doesn't know too much about them at this point. Doubt hes been scouting Grimsby from his kitchen table.

    Exactly. Can't exactly talk extensively about their strengths and weaknesses from clips in one game can he?

    Bowyer did the same. Watched one game and started waxing lyrical about every side we played.

    Just watched his Ifollow video and I must of been close to doing a little sex wee. It was so refreshing to hear about how we're focusing on how we're going to hurts teams instead of saying how good the opposition are etc etc.

    Stuart must have been fibbing then because he said he wasn’t approached until 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon

    I don't think Rupp or Rhodes had any intention of sacking Bowyer but Saturdays performance was that bad Bowyer left them with no alternative. Certainly looks like they had no sort contingency plan if they did sack him, hence the call to McCall.

    How long do you think it takes to put transfers on a sweatshirt?
